  • Create Data Directories:
    User Data Directories
    NeXtMidas expects to read and write data files for each user in the AUX.1 directory (AUX.1 is the NeXtMidas identifier for the first auxiliary, or user, directory). Therefore, you need a directory for each user under the AUX.1 directory.
    This example creates user directories for John Smith (smithj) and Sarah Kim (kims) using the default system directory /midas/data1/.
    mkdir -p /midas/data1/smithj
    mkdir -p /midas/data1/kims
    NOTE: Set the ownership so the user owns their own directory.
    chown smithj:smithj /midas/data1/smithj
    chown kims:kims /midas/data1/kims
